For Tuesday night’s 15-game slate, I am going to do something a little different with my home run predictions write up. I’m going to give a pair of hitters from four different teams who hit close together in their lineups, something I like to call “Suited Connectors”. This method gives you not only pair of hitters capable of hitting a home run but also some additional upside of a mini-stack to double-down on RBI and run points. The hitters on today’s list also offer some value that allows you to pay up into the strong mid-tier of pitching options on the slate.
Prices included for FanDuel and DraftKings to help find where the best value may be and positions are based on FanDuel.
So with that here is who will be swinging for the fences today…
